get_knowledge_base_content

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered structurally. The description adds nothing beyond that – no indication of what the returned content looks like, whether it is paginated, or any size/auth caveats.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

It is a single short phrase with no waste, which is fine structurally, but the brevity reflects under-specification rather than efficiency. There is nothing misleading, just very little substance.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, the description carries the burden of explaining what "content" is returned (raw document text, chunks, file URL?), and it does not. For a retrieval tool sitting next to several similar knowledge-base getters, this leaves an agent guessing about the return payload.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% and the single parameter documentation_id is well documented in the schema (its origin is even stated: "returned on document addition"). The description adds no meaning beyond the schema, so the baseline of 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

"Get Document Content" is essentially a restatement of the tool name and title (get_knowledge_base_content / "Get Knowledge Base Content"). It does not distinguish this tool from adjacent siblings such as get_documentation_from_knowledge_base, get_documentation_chunks_from_knowledge_base, or search_knowledge_base_content_route, so an agent cannot tell which one fetches raw content versus metadata or chunks.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisite (e.g. that a documentation_id must first come from add_documentation_to_knowledge_base), and no mention of alternatives. The only hint at usage comes from the schema, not the description.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
